Alexander Naumann: The Grandmaster's Gambit

Meet Alexander Naumann, aka Pittiplatsh in the chess underworld — a Grandmaster whose blitz skills could make even the boldest pawns tremble. Rising like a bolt from the blue, Alexander blitzed through 2020 with a remarkable jump from a minuscule rating of 1966 to a jaw-dropping peak of 2625 within the same year. By 2021, he leveled up to an astonishing 2660, proving that his opening moves are as mysterious as his favorite "Top Secret" line, which boasts a 57% win rate in over a hundred blitz games. Suspicious? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely.

Alexander plays like a chess ninja—rarely resigning early (zero early resignations!) and engaging the endgame nearly 90% of the time. His games average around 85 moves whether he wins or loses, a testament to his endurance and strategic patience. While his White pieces bask in the sunshine of a 62.5% win rate, even his Black pieces hold their ground robustly at over 51%.

Known for an almost supernatural comeback ability (92% comeback rate and a flawless 100% win rate even after losing a piece), Alexander embodies resilience. He refuses one-sided losses, showing a psychological toughness matched only by his "Tilt Factor" of three — mildly annoyed, but never rattled.

Socially, Alexander’s diary might read as “Chess by day, chess by night”: he reigns supreme on Friday nights (winning nearly 78% of games) and enjoys a remarkable 100% morning success rate at 10 AM sharp—clearly, that’s when the coffee kicks in and the brain gears up.

Opponents beware: Pittiplatsh’s record shows mixed feelings about birds_of_prey (winning only 40% of their duels), but a merciless 100% victory margin against many others. Whether blitzing past dupilupi123 or tactically dismantling stefan_95, Alexander’s stones in the pond ripple far beyond the board.

When not plotting incredible checkmates, Alexander embraces chess as a fine art—the patient, relentless kind—making every game a story worth retelling, one pawn push at a time.
